Re: question about trick and who does

That appears to just one part of a John Carney routine. I know I have read an explanation for this somewhere but I can't seem to remember where at the moment. I'm thinking it was The Collected Almanac, but I'm not sure.

Re: Brainwave...would this work

Wouldn't the effect be weakend by repeating the exact same effect? My preferance would be just do the brainwave after some effects with a regular deck and switch decks somewhere during my set. Also it should be noted that Max Mavens effect is called B'Wave.
